keeping your system password protected
Posted on November 11, 2007 - Filed Under Money Matters, Teaching | 2 Comments
In my previous corporate job, I've experienced the hassle of needing to change your password every month. It was crazy trying to think of new passwords since we weren't allowed to repeat any. There were more than one occassion when I've had to call the IT department for a reset because I've forgotten my passwords. [...]

Ramil and I are still right smack in the middle of our week-long break. Some of the reasons why I love being a teacher are the long breaks we'd usually get. Instead of getting just several days off for this week, we get the whole week. Yipee! School breaks for all saints' and all souls' [...]

So I'm back again. Nope, we still haven't been able to gasp for air. We're still swamped with work - midterms week is next week which means Ramil and I are both scurrying to finish our respective tests. Not to mention continuing with our usual lessons and classes. Oh and yes, our laptop's drive chose [...]

Yep, aside from this blog and my other blog, I have started another blog. This blog will show the geeky side of me. Heehee…
The school where I work, HEdCen, now has a website thanks to the initiative of two parents from the school. One of the many services that the site offers to the students, [...]

Ramil and I have always shared our love for animals. Although I sometimes go eewww with some of them, I recognize every animals' importance in the whole scheme of life. HEdCen, the school where we teach, has the same stand when it comes to animals. The school itself can pass for a mini-zoo with the [...]

Ramil and I have been thinking of buying another laptop for quite some time now. With me doing part-time work and some blog opportunities, he hasn't been able to bring our laptop to school. It really pays to have your own laptop if you're a teacher. Ramil would usually have a lot of powerpoint presentations [...]

A few years back, when I was still with the insurance industry, I learned of a teaching opportunity in Texas. My lola's friend, who now lives there, know of some schools who are willing to directly hire from the Philippines and apparently, they were looking for math and science teachers then. Unfortunately, having had no [...]

I guess the title says how confused I am. I don't know what to call myself anymore. In my desire to be a SAHM and also be able to teach, I have committed myself to another schoolyear of teaching math part-time. I guess I never fully realized how much I love teaching until I've had [...]

"You don't have kids yet, right? That's why you cannot understand what we're feeling."
This is what a parent said to me when they went to school to talk to me. Their grade four son had a broken right arm and I asked him try writing his answers to an exercise using his left hand. He [...]
